Our Strategy

UTSA 2016, The University of Texas at San Antonio Strategic Plan, details the steps toward becoming a premier public research university. We believe the road to Tier One status is paved with a focus on world-class research, academic excellence and international reach.

These plans represent an ambitious agenda in moving UTSA toward Tier One. Already, our university is home to many areas of excellence in education, research and public outreach. Our priorities for achieving higher levels of distinction include providing access to excellence, creating new knowledge, serving society and enriching our student’s experiences in an increasingly competitive global economy.

One of UTSA’s strategies is to develop collaborations and partnerships to assist in our goals. One of the first partnerships was with the military, which spurred the creation of the Center for Infrastructure Assurance and Security, now a component of UTSA’s Institute for Cyber Security. These types of external partners provide greater possibilities for our students and help ensure they are prepared for success in a 21st century economy.

Achieving Tier One status is not a sprint. It’s a marathon. UTSA’s strategic goals represent the long-term vision to provide momentum, propelling us toward the finish line. Our integrated strategic framework will guide us as we make important decisions to shape the future of our institution and the communities we serve.
